Al, I had not considered that crystals wouldn't be a frequently serviced item. I somehow assumed, with you running near capacity and having to turn work down, they would be coming across your desk every week or so. i guess crystals are sturdier than I thought.

I did consider the risk of experimenting with high priced items - hence the suggestion of 'minimally invasive' work with optical grease. Still, if you come across the crystals of the different types, if you could take a pic (or two: one from the top, with lighting from the side, to provoke the milky ring, and one from the side, to show the frosted (or not) outer diameter surface), that would be very much appreciated.
